Should I buy this used arcade ?

It's Hori's flagship arcade stick for the current generation, the Fighting Stick Alpha. From my experience, roughly 60% arcade sticks on the second hand market are in "like-brand new" condition with less than 10 hours of total use to them. If you buy this arcade stick, you wouldn't really need to do

Whats a decent ps5 fightstick thats around 200 dollars?

Nacon Daija (almost always on sale for $200) Qanba Obsidian 2, Qanba Titan, and Mayflash F700 Elite is what I would look at. They all have Sanwa parts, which is the standard most people go off of as a baseline. You could also get a cheaper, smaller stick, like the 8bitdo fightstick (I prefer the Swi

Any good arcade sticks for the ps5?

There's a good selection for current gen but you gotta remember that retail/officially licensed peripherals are usually one console (and backwards compatible) + PC in terms of compatibility. Because of the growing trend of leverless/all button styled controllers, it's pretty split to even selection

Please support Qanba. They deserve it!

I love my Qanba Obsidian 2. After 2 years of use and the stick & buttons still feel like new.

Not enough buttons on fight stick to run training effectively

This game is only a 5 button fighter. How many macros are you running smh lol? The Qanba Obsidian 2 (my stick) is a 8 button stick with L3 / R3 and a touch pad. I can map effectively what I want. All of those macros are eating up your button real estate. However, if that's how you play, it is what i

First stick

For what it’s worth; I’d go for the Qanba Obsidian. My favorite sticks are the Madcatz Te2+ and the Razer Panthera. But the Obsidian for 160 is great! And then I’d use the saved cash for modding in silent buttons and a spring for the joystick to help add a little tension / weight to the joystick lev

Looking to upgrade from my Qanba Drone 2, what would you consider to be the best FightStick for PC/PS5 fighting games

For what your asking there are a few choices Budget option The Qanba Titan: little bigger then the drone and it's comes with Sanwa parts you can usually find it on sale for $149 USD. Mayflash F700: Heavier then the Drone 2 but not as wide and you can customize it with custom art. Can usually be foun
